Member’s Gallery: (In-Person – Print) Hawaii with Jim Sinsheimer

As an architect and design/construction manager for the past 45 years, photography has always been an integral part of Jim’s career, starting with a small darkroom in the College of Architecture during the early 70’s. Subsequently, he progressed from a tiny darkroom over a clothes dryer to a fully equipped facility for work; from a 4×5 view camera and finally into the digital age. Jim’s work has been published in several issues of Black and White Magazine and LensWork, and shown in hanging exhibits in California and Chicago. 

After moving from southern California to Virginia to be closer to family, he joined NVPS in 2019 and has enjoyed its comaraderie and friendships. Travel photography has also been and remains a favorite part of the trips he has taken over the years, of which his five trips to the Hawaiian Islands were most memorable. He spent much of his time there hiking ocean side trails, exploring the jungle-like forests, viewing the islands from helicopters, throwing snowballs at top of Mauna Kea, and rising at 4:30 am to see a volcano at sunrise. The photographs he is showing depict the great photographic opportunities the islands offer.
